Serious issue building space station

[MegaTar]

This is a show stopper unless there is some trick I don't see. I have all the components for building the power module and nav module but they won't connect to any of the existing objects. At first I was able to connect the nav module to the Hab module but couldn't get the power module to connect it or any other floating object. So I decided to start over and disassembled the nav mod and hab mod. Disassembling the hab module was a mistake because now I can't rebuild it because it doesn't show up in the build menu and now there's nothing that will accept the nav or power mods. The game should not have let me disassemble the hab module without a way to reconstruct it if it's a key component to progress.

I just follow the mission prompts and the story completes ok.

Built a Nav Module to an end of the Habitat Module, Built a Power Module to the other end of the habitat module, built a Airlock Module and additional Power Module on both of the habitat module side openings, built a Communications Module to the open end of the Power Module, built a Auxiliary Module to the open end of the Communications Module, built a Engine Module to the open end of the Auxillary Module, built he Cryo Pod in the habitat module.
Was able to complete the story mode game.

If I were you I would have alt-tab to desktop and closed the game with task manager so as I would have a good save to return to before disassembling the habitat module.

I've made a bit of a pigs ear building my station
How do you dismantle the modules? Cause I don't seem to be able to find away to do it

[jbuff61173]

Do you have your survival tool in-hand?

My play through is the experimental BTSE 0.5.614, I just now went back up to the space station and the game has given me the prompts for dismantling each of the modules. I didn't dismantle any of them though.

OK .. Spoilers :)
The first mission is to get close to a module .. the second mission is to repair the habitat module.

All the other modules are 'builds' have to attach to the habitat module.

Thanks for the help everyone. I understand future builds require the Hab Module, but now my issue really is my space habitat module is gone and there is no way to rebuild it. Only the nav and power module builds are available in my list. My fate is in the hands of the developers now ;-) And yes I am at version 5.614

[jhughes]

hmm .. it disappeared or you disassembled it? Maybe you can respawn it.

I have an update on space ship build issue. First, for jhuges' comment: I disassembled the hab module (stupid idea, I know) and can't rebuild because it is not in the build list. I was able to continue the rest of the build sequence by building off the engine module. Now however, it wants me to build the cryo pod but that must go into the hab module and I have no hab module nor can I build one because it's not in my space ship build list. The game assumes it already exists,

Same here, I can´t finish space station. Another problem is with printer ... no log found inside habitat to reach the space station, I use console commands to repair spacecraft. Experimental branch version 5.614

I cant figure out the right spawn commands the spawn anything in space. I've tried several combinations but nothing works. I might need an ID# or something? I was able to spawn an object on Proteus just to see if it would work and it did there but the same type of command doesn't work in space for me.
